This is Our Youth by Kenneth Lonergan (R)

The very last wave of New York City’s '60s-style Liberalism has come of age—and there’s nowhere left to go. In meticulous, hilarious, and agonizing detail, THIS IS OUR YOUTH follows forty-eight hours of three very lost young souls in the big city at the dawn of the Reagan Era. Funny, painful, and compassionate, THIS IS OUR YOUTH is a living snapshot of the moment between adolescence and adulthood when many young people first go out into the world on their own, armed only with the ideas and techniques they developed as teenagers—ideas and techniques far more sophisticated than their parents ever realize, and far less effectual than they can imagine. - Rated R, contains mature themes, explicit language, and drug use. Viewer discretion is advised.

Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father’s who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind.

Doubt – A Parable

Blue Ridge Community Theater 61 Tsalaki Trail, Blue Ridge, Georgia, United States

The fireworks begin as the exacting principal of a Bronx Catholic school—feared by students and colleagues alike—suspects improper relations between a charismatic priest and a student. She’s forced to wrestle with what’s fact, what’s fiction, and just how far she’ll go to expose what she sees as the truth. It keeps the audience guessing and second-guessing through the play’s famous final line. Winner Tony Award for “Best Play” and Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Ripcord

Blue Ridge Community Theater 61 Tsalaki Trail, Blue Ridge, Georgia, United States

A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, so when the cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with new-arrival Marilyn, she has no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means necessary. A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden. “A show to treasure…a deeply satisfying and vastly entertaining story of two elderly women thrown together by a comic cosmic force possessed of a wicked sense of humor. There are deeper issues lurking below the comedic surface…that gradually build from belly laughs to something more emotionally nutritious.” -Deadline
